    Not too soon. Perfectly timed. He didn’t give a shit saying it when others got shot, so why should he be extended the courtesy they didn’t get?

    I mean, the guy was basically just asking for it.

    Anyone who promotes gun ownership, dismisses gun violence, and justifies it all with the defense of “freedom” that’s been steadily eroded away by government for as long as I can remember until we’re all basically wage slaves working for scraps while the modern aristocrats (1%ers) sell and rape young children for fun and profit then have a royal dinner to stroke eachothers ego at the house that’s supposed to represent democracy and freedom, but is almost always occupied by authoritarian assholes… Then gets shot for the effort?

    Well, I’m not going to be sad that it happened.

    We need to turn these childfuckers into fertilizer.

      Not LAMF unless he was explicitly advocating for others to be shot.

      Hence ‘voted for leopards eating faces party, didn’t expect them to eat my face’.

          That is not advocating for people to be shot, and I have a feeling you know that and are just being obtuse.

          An actual equivalent analogy to what you quoted would be saying that we shouldn’t ban a sport just because some people get hurt playing it. If someone said that, would you claim they’re advocating for players of that sport to get hurt?

          Of course not. Use your brain.

            Sure whatever man. It’s not that important. Here is an internet victory point. Yaaay you won the argument.

              You thought it was important enough to say in the first place (and also double down once after your error was already made crystal clear).

              Is it really that hard to just genuinely accept being wrong about something without the asinine passive-aggression? Grow up.

      I’ll admit seeing the blood rush out of his neck was pretty convincing, but it just doesn’t put me over the edge.

    Sometimes relevant information is “distasteful.” Relevance beats distastefulness.

        Chaffetz: “Now I happened to be watching Charlie. I can’t say I saw blood. I can’t say I saw him get shot, but as soon as that shot went out, he fell back.”

        His brain must be blocking the sight of the blood to protect him, no joke.

          Yeah I saw a video and there was BLOOD. Movie like really.

          I used to browse r/watchpeopledie and out of all the deaths I’ve seen charlie had a pretty bloody one. A shot to the neck’ll do that I guess.

            That amount of blood, in that very short period of time shown in the video - ain’t nobody gonna stop that with a shirt and a hand. I can’t begin to imagine how much more blood there was after the video cut.

    I just find it crazy that someone is willing to do time for getting Charlie removed. Wouldn’t be me.

    Oh well. Not going to dwell on this too long.
